Solution

1. What is the crude death rate for the East North Central region?

Ans:

Number of deaths in East North Central region= 390444

total population of East North Central region = 43185930

Hence crude death rate=(390444/43185930)*1000000=9041.00015908

which means 9041 deaths per 1000000 people.

----------------------

2. What is the heart disease death rate for the East North Central region?

Ans:

Number of Deaths due to heart disease in East North Central region= 130141

total population of East North Central region = 43185930

Hence death rate=(130141/43185930)*1000000=3013.50462986

which means 3014 deaths per 1000000 people.

----------------------

3. What is the proportionate mortality rate for heart disease in the East North Central region?

Number of deaths in East North Central region= 390444

Number of Deaths due to heart disease in East North Central region= 130141

Then proportionate mortality rate for heart disease=(130141/390444)=0.333315405026
